Aboutvanessaoz Expertise I love helping people and and some may say that I am a very chatting and friendly person. I can offer advice to people who are in long distance or a different cultural online relationship as I have experienced both. I know how hard it can be and how heartbreaking it can be but I also know how rewarding they can be.

Experience I have experience with online relationships and having friends who are in one or have had them, I know the highs and lows that can come from being in one, especially long distance. I have been online for five years and met many people from different cultures.
Question Me and my Girlfriend have kept a relationship online now for a year. We are
actually quite young to be doing this, i believe. But i love her very much and
cant think about not "being with her". We talk a lot about our love for each
other witch keeps us going. But im starting to realize that its not all about
love. We talk every day and i feel like i don't know half of her. I mean she
doesn't express her feelings to me like i want. How can i get her to talk
more? And i would like to know if talking to her everyday is a good idea or
not?
Answer hi david..
thanks for your question..
even for adults its hard to keep a long distance relationship going for a long time.
i can tell that you have strong feelings for her and seem to be very open with her. she might just be finding it hard to open up to you due to her age and how mature she is. you might be expecting more from her then she can give you right now.
i beleive in good honest communication to keep a relationship working well, so i dont see any harm in talking everyday unless your whole focus is her and then that can be not healthy for you. you need other interests as well.
maybe she is feeling you coming on too strong and she doesnt know how to ask you step back a little, she may be feeling boxed in by you, so just be careful.
you are right, a relationship is not just about love, there are so many other emotions and feelings involved in creating a lasting relationship. common interests, humour and being a good listener to name a few.
whether you decide to not talk everyday is up to you both, i think it would be good if you missed few days now and then. have you heard the old saying ' absence makes the heart grow fonder' well its very true. sometimes we dont know what have until we dont have it anymore.
